More quotes by Margaret Thatcher
There is no such thing as society: there are individual men and women, and there are families.
Margaret Thatcher
I think Essex Man will vote for a Conservative Government.
Margaret Thatcher
For Dicey, writing in 1885, and for me reading him some seventy years later, the rule of law still had a very English, or at least Anglo-Saxon, feel to it. It was later, through Hayek's masterpieces The Constitution of Liberty and Law, Legislation and Liberty that I really came to think this principle as having wider application.
Margaret Thatcher
No great goal was ever easily achieved.
Margaret Thatcher
When in August 1793 a British delegation showed their hosts a terrestrial globe, it turned into a diplomatic incident, for the Chinese were furious to see that their empire covered so little of it. For centuries the Chinese had thought of themselves as 'The Middle Kingdom', that is the centre of the civilized world. To see otherwise was a shock.
Margaret Thatcher
A man who, beyond the age of 26, finds himself on a bus can count himself as a failure.
Margaret Thatcher
A bully has no respect for a weakling and the way to stop a bully is not to be weak. The way to stop a bully from ever being a bully is to say: I'm as strong as you. Anything you do to me, I can do to you. We are going for nuclear and conventional disarmament but we're going about it in the right way.
Margaret Thatcher
If... many influential people have failed to understand, or have just forgotten, what we were up against in the Cold War and how we overcame it, they are not going to be capable of securing, let alone enlarging, the gains that liberty has made.
Margaret Thatcher
I don't mind how much my Ministers talk, so long as they do what I say.
Margaret Thatcher
Constitutions have to be written on hearts, not just paper.
Margaret Thatcher
Everything a politician promises at election time has to be paid for either by higher taxation or by borrowing.
Margaret Thatcher
We need a free economy not only for the renewed material prosperity it will bring, but because it is indispensable to individual freedom, human dignity and to a more just, more honest society.
Margaret Thatcher
Let us never forget this fundamental truth: The State has no source of money other than the money people themselves earn.
Margaret Thatcher
You do not achieve anything without trouble, ever.
Margaret Thatcher
I do believe that political arrangements which are based upon violence, intimidation and theft will eventually break down - and will deserve to do so.
Margaret Thatcher
As the former dissident Vladimir Bukovsky once remarked – referring to the Russian proverb to the effect that you cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs – he had seen plenty of broken eggs, but never tasted any omelette.
Margaret Thatcher
Good Conservatives always pay their bills. And on time. Not like the Socialists who run up other people's bills.
Margaret Thatcher
Let our children grow tall and some taller than others if they have it in them to do so.
Margaret Thatcher
You don't tell deliberate lies, but sometimes you have to be evasive.
Margaret Thatcher
I just owe almost everything to my father and it's passionately interesting for me that the things that I learned in a small town, in a very modest home, are just the things that I believe have won the election.
Margaret Thatcher
